For pickups I think you might want to take a look at bareknuckle's selection. They're a little bit over 90, but no ridiculously priced. If that's too much then take a look into some Super Distortions or something.

THIS WEEKEND....tuners tuners tuners- keeping stockgetting rid of my roller nut/locking tuner idea back to locking nut grinding down the neck to get the lock nut inand my fav part of this build....6100 frets EW

i want this guitar to look ghetto as a mother but i have the chance to...

a. keep my mother of pearl HSS strat pick gaurd and just tape off the Single coil holes and tone pots

or

b. get this ALL PARTS white pick gaurd fit for a strat with just a Hum spot and a volume($10 and exactly what im getting)

the thing is the M.O.P. goes SOOOOO much nicer with the paint, and the white will make it look cleaner but its white

PS the BL pup is Zebra

<3CLAP

EDIT: ive decided to get the white pickgaurd if its still there when i go to pick up my fret wire

The L-500XL is one mean bastard of a pickup, an excellent choice you made there. Do you have it reversed like Dime?The white pickguard will make it look a lot nicer IMO

im really trying to stay away from the dimebag tone FULLY. he has good tone, but every single metal head wants it. i know thats a very little aspect but no i wont(sorry for the rant)but there will definetly be duct tape if i stick with the MOP pickgaurd

That's cool, I was more interested in what you were going to do rather than forcing somebody elses tone onto you. I love Dime, but I agree that there's a lot better tone out there in metal.Duct tape would be br00tal
